Thunderstorms are some of the most common weather events, and they are also among the most dangerous.
Severe thunderstorms can bring lightning, flash flooding, damaging winds and hail.
Severe thunderstorms usually happen most frequently in the spring, but they can hit during any season. The storms are most likely to develop in warm, humid conditions.
If you’re outdoors when a thunderstorm nears or is forecast, go inside. Even if lightning isn’t visible, you should equate it with thunder.
